4 FRIENDLY SUGGESTION.

The GAZETTE will give the Prohibition
brethren in Texas pointer, and doesn't
charge cent for the advice. It is this
vote on prohibitory amendment this
year means the certain defeat of such 8
measure, for the simple reason that pub
lie opinion in this state is not ready yet
to GCcep. such policy. There are g
great many men who will not have any
objection to trying the prohibition RENE
dy if they can be convinced that it will
accomplish what its advocates claim for
it. Everybody knows that the experience
in Maine, Iowa and Kansas has not been
satisfactory or convincing. And IN Texas
prohibition has not been given test in
exceeding twenty counties. The people
of this state have not had fair OPP ortu-
nifty to form & fair estimate of the value
OF the system. The enthusiasts will &C.
Cept 1t on hear say and risk the results,
bat the majority of the voters are not en-
thusiasts, and how can practical men be
expected 20 give their support to meas
ure that has not had practical demonstra-
ton as to its merits here at home?
1t is out of the question that
they should do so, and if the
vote is taken this year the people, with
special untriendliness to the measure,
but distrustful of its efficacy, will re-
ject it. If Brothers CrantiIl, Dohoney
and others are wise in their day and
generation, they will ask for g vote in
1889 instead of lSS7-let q state and pres
idential election intervene first. And
during the two years and half that will
from now until the summer of
1889, they will devote their energies TO
securing local option in as many counties
in the state as possible, thus furnishing
the people all over the state an oppor
tunty to see how prohibition works
when applied locally. II the results are
good the public will recognize the fact
and when 1889 comes it will not be as
difficult to persuade men TO vote for state
prohibition as it will now. A great deal
can be done in the way OF educating
public sentiment during two years
and nalf, always provided there is
really something to impart in the way of
instruction and educatiOn-taat the re-
suits Will vindicate the policy. THE GA
zETTE doubts if this advice will be
received in that spirit of sincerity in
which it is rendered; h )rse can be led
to water, but it is difficult to make him
drink if he doesn't want to, and THE GA
zETTE has an idea that the prohibition
leaders do not want any delay. But THE
GAZETTE ventures to tender its sugges-
ton, all the same, and fit is not thought
worthy Of adoption, so be it. Our pro-
hibition friends cannot say they were not
forewarned. We expect this prohibition
measure to be very lively theme at
Austin during the next few weeks. The
liquor men Will probably be more than
willing to see it submitted to vote next
summer, for the liquor men, too, ere
shrewd enough to see that public senti-
ment is not prepared to accept the amend
ment in the light of what experience is at
hand.

Crows Spreading Hog Cholera.

SPRINGFIELD, ILLS pa prominent
farmer writing to the state board of agri-
culture to-day, says he has abundantly
demonstrated the fact that hog cholera,
LOW prevailing in many parts of the state,
is frequently spread by crows carrying
the flesh OF hogs dying of this disease and
dropping it where healthy hogs find it
and eat it. He urges en- amendatory
clause to the contagious diseases act,
compelling the immediate burning or
burying OF all hogs dying from this dis

TIE Fort Is SCENE.

The efforts OF the Dallas Times to dis
turb the serenity of Fort Worth are
amusing. Would the Times know why
its kindly endeavors are of no avail?
There are potent reasonsfor Fort Worth's
serenity of mind, and THE GAZETTE has
no objection to stating them, for the
record of the achievements OF the city for
the past year is brilliant one-and ell
the more brilliant when it is considered
in the light of the adverse conditions
which surrounded its work.
In 1884 the failure of the Investment
Company, following close on the
heels of the financial furry in
New York, cost the people of this
city hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and that loss fell on the men who have
been ever foremost in all good works.
Then came the failure of the refrigerator
works, into which the people had put
their money. Then came the strike of
1885, and Fort Worth being great rail

Special to the Gazette.
DUBLIN, Tex, Jan. 22.-Hurrah,
hurrah, for rain! We'll, yes, it has at
last rained again. 1t commenced about
O'Clock this morning and rained hard
tor two hours. Such rain after such
dry spell as we have had here puts e
broad grin on everybody's face. Among
the first expressions heard on the street
this morning was "this country's good
enough for anybody, now" We hope to
get more rain before it quits. This will
probably save some of the wheat, al
though most of it was given up for dead.
If the weather stays warm the grass will
on appear. Already it is having a beue-
fetal effect on the business outlook.

good condition, and unless we have lots
of very hard weather, they will 90

briefly as it can be outlined. 1t is writ
ten in spirit of fairness and justice to
all interests, and must call for the ap-
proval of all who ask only equality before
the laws without special privileges.
The legislature is now the custodian of
the governors conscience in public mat
tiers. He has told the representatives of
the people what measures be thinks are
best for the relief of present wrongs, the
correction of prevailing abuses, and the
promotion of the general good. He. HIM

as they are, and as they are Interpreted to
him. responsibility attaches To author
ity, and it ought 20 be conversely true,
that authority accompanies responsible
lty. The governor is expected to do great
things, and the legislature should see to
1t that he is given the authority to carry
out the policies that he recommends.
Then, committing the conduct of affairs
to his hands, we h2Ye bu. TO wait and see

that the United States congress
is owned, body and soul, by

have said the bill may not fulfill its mis-

is Circumstance significant enough to
inspire every American with new hope as

A Young Lady Sustains a Fall Resulting in Death in
 Five Hours,

Dardanelle Post: On Monday after noon last about o'clock. Miss Matte Hinton, fifteen miles below Darda- nelle, while stepping into a wagon slipped and fell across the wagon bed striking on her breast, from the eff fects of which she died about nine o'clock. Miss Hinton was 23 years, and was the second of seven sisters, all of whom lived with their parents on the farm next above Fowler's store. about a mile distant from it. The next day was the young lady's 23d birthday anniversary and the occasion was to be celebrated by giving her a little party. With this arrangement in view some of the other girls had gone down to Fowler's store to get some things. leaving Miss Mattie to finish some work on hand. Soon afterward MT. George Cole came along in his wagon and the yonng lady knowing Mr.Cole we'll asked to ride down with him as far as the store, which he as sented to and he stopped for the pur pose Of letting her get on. She hastily climbed up on the fore wheel and just as she went to spring in, her foot slipped, with result as stated. Feel. ing that she washurt, but not realizing that it was serious she gave up the trip and walked back to the house, e,no one suspecting the great injury she had sustained. She soon grew sick at the stomach and Dr. Love was sent for, but nothing could be done. We are indebted for these particulars to Mir. J. o. Robertson, who came to town Tuesday for coffin. The sad event cast gloom over the neighbor- hood, as the young lady was greatly admired and loved by all who knew her.

< reporter in his daily jaunt in search of interesting matter for the perusa Of the readers of the Post, happened Into the cigar store of 5. Alexander, Jr., where he was told that one of our popular young cloth | ing dealers had suddenly come into the possession of large sum of money. Closer investigation reveal
 ed the fact that the popular young merchant was MT. Ben Kiam, of the firm of Kiam & Bros, and the sum of money was the neat little amount of $I5,000. MT. Kiam, on being in- terviewed, stated lie did not like publicity, but as the rumor had been circulated, he preferred emulating George Washington and Grover Cleveland, and would .'tell the truth" Some time last month";" he said, Il concluded to purchase ticket in the January drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery Company, and sent my ofiice-boy after one, which l put in my safe. I thought no more about the ticllssst until the 1lth instant, when Mir. Alexander called at my store and told me if my ticket was No. 91 ,960, had won one-tenth of the capital prize-that his telegram from The Louisiana Lottery Compa- ny stated the winning ticket had been sold in Houston. You can hard ly imagine the state of my feelings while examining my ticket to see if 1 really was the lucky individual. When the truth dawned upon me that my little investment of $1 had returned me the snug amount of 1000, l felt-well, can't tell yon how l did feel. If there are words in the English language comprehen- sive enough to describe my feeling, they are not at my command" To the question, "Have you got your money" Mir. Kiam replled: "Yes, the ticket was promptly cashed on presentation" Mir. Kiam will sure ly invest portion of his prize for the next drawing, which takes place on the Sth of next month.--Houston (Tex.
